Temporarily Idle.
CHICAGO, H., June S.-The supply of
coke at the North Chicago rolling mills
is exhaus and the mills have shut
down, throwing 500 men out of work.
There were hopes last week that supply
of coke could be obtained from a coke
region farther on than Connellsville,
but the quality of the coke to be had
there was found unsuitable. The COM
pany was therefore compelled to Issue
the order to shut down the blast-furnace
yesterday. There is still a sufficient
quantity of pig iron to keep the balance
of the works running for a week, by
which time it is hoped the strike at the
mines will have enCoI. Should it con-
tinue the entire works will have to sus-
pend operations and $500 men in all

SPRING MILLINERY.
Coming Fashions in the Shapes and Col
ors of Hats and Bonnets.

Coming Fashions In the shapes ana Coi-
ors of Hats and BonnetS.
The spring importations OF wholesale
millinery houses repeat in straw many
of the shapes already seen in the winter
bonncts and hats. Small bonnets and
large hats will both be worn during the
coming season. Importers predict the
general use of fancy bruids, though
many Milan straws are shown in dark
shades of color. There is an effort to
introduce lower crowns, but high square
crowns are shown on all the hats and
nearly all the bonncts thus far opened.
Bonnets remain very close at the side,
the trimming being massed on top by
the milliner in various ways to suit her
fancy and the face of the wearer.
While it is anticipated that ribbons and
piece velvet will be standard trimmings
for spring and summer, there are many
fancy gauzcs which will be used with
flowers and for yelling flowers. There
is growing tendency to make bonnets
individual in style, SO that no Two bon
nets shall be alike; this neaessitates the
use of variety of materials in trim
ming, and ostrich pompons, tips,
aigrcttes of feathers, and aigrcttes and
piques of fine flowers will all be used
The colors of the spring will be on.a
subdued order or if any rich colors are
used the aim will be to blend them so
carefully that there will be nothing
pronounced or bizarre in the effect.
There are many rose tints among the
new colors which will probably take the
place of the brilliant cardinal and red
shades of the previous seasons. These
rose shades are shown in various tones
of color from Il fade tapestry pink
known as sold rose" to the brilliant
Charles the Tenth colors which repeat
the shades and tints of the wild rose,
and are usually called "eglantine" col
ors. Other pink shades are valiously
known as "crustacies" and ''vcrnon
Japan" which in its pulest tint ap-
proaches in color the brilliant hue Of
the japanese minnow and in the dark
est shades becomes apurplish magenta.
The 'ilammant" shades of red are II
brilliant scarlet color. The beautiful
bluc-grecn tint Of last season, called
"Salambo,' is imported again under
the name of pigeon-green. Renais-
snncc green in n color n shade darker
than Nile green-a fade tapestry
tint taken from the old green of Gobe-
lin embroidery. Pale Sevcres blues in
greenish tones are shown in several
shades. Yellows range in color
from the pa,c primrose yellows
10 the deep orange shades. Pm-
pies are imported in many shades
and tones of color; there are
reddish puppies called this season
"anemono" on the importers cards OF
color, but these are better known by
their old name of hcliotrope; there are
pale lilacs, lavcndcrs and violet pur
pies. Natural beige tints, drabs ant
standard colors complete the list o
tints and shades. 1t is anticipated tina
two or more shades Of the same colol
will be considered in better taste il

A Treatment which Has Bcon Success

A Treatment which Has Bccn Success
fully Tried by n Noted Physician.
DIR. A. Brpndel writes, in the Bulletin
General dc Iherdpcutiqae, concerning
the treatment of diphthoria by benzoate
of sodium, and asserts that of two hun
drcd consecutive cases he has not lost a
single one. He admits the possibility
of mistaken diagnosis in some in
stances, but, even excluding fifty per
cent. on this account, he still has one
hundred cases without death. His
method is as follows; Every hour the
patient takes tablespoonful of solu-
ton of bcnzoatc of sodium, fifteen
grains to the ounce, and at the same
time onc-siXth of u grain of sulphidc of
calcium in sirup or granule. In addi-
ton to this the throat is thoroughly
sprayed every half hour with ten per
cent solution of bcnzoato of sodium.
This is done rcligiously at the regular
intervals, day and night, but no other
local treatmenti is employed. No attempt
is made to dislodgo the false membrane,
and no pcnciling nor painting of the
fauces is resorted TO. Tonics are given
and antipyratics are used when occasion
calls for them. The nourishmcnt con-
ssts of beef juice, tender rare meat,
milk, etc, but bread and all other arti-
cles which may cause irritation of the
throat are forbidden. Tho sick room
is kept filled with steam from a vessel
containing carbolic acid, turpcntine and
oil of eucalyptus in water.
The employment of benzoate of sodi-
um is not n new method in the treat
ment of diphtheria, for it has been tried
and is recommended highly by Letter
ich, Kicn, Ferreol, and Others. But
this, of course, speaks so much the more
strongly in favor of the remedy; and as
DR.. Brondel's results were better than
those obtained by others using the same
drug, it is to be presumed that his
method of employing it is the best
Medical Record.

LOGAN In THE WAR.

Row He Demonstrated His Peculiar Abili-
tics at Donelson and Champion Iiiil. q
On September 13, 1861, the 3lst IL
linois Volunteers was organized, with
John Alexander Logan as its first Col
oncl.
The regiment became part OF Cen
cral McClcrnand's brigade, and saw
its first fighting at Belmont, scarcely
tot ,honths later, when Logan horse
was shot beneath him and the pistol ut
his side shattered by rebel bullets.
Forts Henry and Donelson followed,
the latter demonstrating Logan ca
pacity as II military commander. un-
dismaycd by the brave defense OF the
fort, he led his men on, urging them
upon the rampnrts, and only failing in
active fight when too much weakened
bv his wounds to raise his voice or
sword. There was little question
among those about him that Logan's
daring and bravery dill most for the
successful issue of that battle.

"Thy proudcst mothers cyolids I'LL,

Wounded severely, Logan was com
pcllcd to remain some time in the hos
pit ii of the fort, where his wife nurscd
him and where such care rs could be
given made his period of captivity en-
durable. He insisted upon returning
to active service before his wounds
were fully healed, and during Grants

opinion, saved the day ut Raymond by

PAPER CREDITS.
now Many Towns Were Saved from tho
Famous Diaught of 1864.

Bhmous DftuGHt VI ioot
Paper credits made the Union armies
appear much larger than they really
were, and will sadly puzzle the future
historians of the war. In 1864, when
Abraham Lincoln made his last call for
100000 more, there was great trouble
and commotion in nearly every part of
the land. Volunteering was no more
carried on with storm of enthusiasm;
the patriotic feeling which had in
spired the three months men TO hasten
to the defense of Washington, at great
personal sacrifices, had died away.
Every county, and town and city ward
was looking to its credits, to see how
much it could Offset by old credits
against the new draughts. The acts of
Congress, and the proclamation by the
President, by oversight, had provided
in loose terms for such offsets.
At last some one betlought himself
that the old veterans, who had gone
out at the first call and stayed out,
were largely not credited at all, neither
10 town nor county nor State. Even
after the first calls had been once loose
ly apportioned, it was found that there
were regiments and companies and
single men never credited at all.
Straightway brokers, representing the
several towns and counties of different
States, We're sent to the front TO buy up
these uncredited men, and thus fill
their quotas. Some of these agents
paid as high as $500 each to the men
and received from 500 to $500 from
the counties or towns. The most profit
able work, however, was among the
contrabands, who had sought protec-
tion within the Union lines at Alexan'
dlia, where they had been employed in
the Quartermaster's department and
the large workshops, and had also beer
organized and armed for the defense
of the place in case Of an attack. Hun
dreds Of these men sold themselves fol
